According to TMZ, legal action has been taken by Kevin, 68, in order to push Christine to leave the property he owns.
The outlet reported that Kevin filed legal documents invoking the couple’s prenup as a way to assert his rights.
The documents state that Christine had 30 days to vacate the house after filing for divorce. As proceedings were started by her on May 1, she has now outstayed her welcome.
The actor’s plea to the court also notes that Christine is reportedly staying in the home in order to encourage Kevin to give in to her “various financial demands.”
Kevin’s report states that he has already given his estranged partner $1.45 million, with which she could find a property of her own.
In addition to this, the actor offered in his filing to provide $30,000 for rent per month as part of his child support obligations, and an extra $10,000 to fund the move.
TENSE TIMES
Hollywood legend Kevin began dating Christine in 1998, and the couple married in 2004.
On May 2 it was announced that Christine had filed for divorce from her Oscar-winning husband the previous day.
The couple shares three children: sons Cayden, born May 6, 2007, and Hayes, who arrived in 2009, and daughter Grace, born in 2010.

Kevin also has four other children from previous relationships with Cindy Silva and Bridget Rooney.
Christine filed the claim on May 1, according to TMZ, after citing “irreconcilable differences”.
Costner’s representative told the outlet: “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.
“We ask that his, Christine’s and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time.”
A source told Page Six that Costner was “very surprised” by his wife’s decision.
MOVING ON
Shortly after Kevin’s wife filed for divorce, Deadline confirmed on Friday, May 5, 2023, that Paramount canceled his show Yellowstone.
The series will wrap up after the second half of season 5 premieres in November 2023.
However, it is unclear if Kevin, who plays John Dutton, will be in the second half.
Prior to the news of its cancelation, rumors grew that Kevin was moving away from the show in recent months, particularly after he failed to show up to a panel with his co-stars.
On February 6, 2023, Deadline reported friction on set between Kevin and Yellowstone’s production team.
The source of the supposed conflict was said to be rooted in disagreements over Kevin’s filming schedule.
